O Canada was an animated anthology series, seen in the United States on Cartoon Network.
Seen mainly on Sunday nights (Monday morning) at 12 Midnight ET, O Canada featured a selection of animated shorts from Canada, mostly from the archives of the National Film Board of Canada.
The title of this series originated from the name of Canada's national anthem, O Canada.
One of the notable shorts featured in this series was Bob's Birthday, which would later serve as the basis for Comedy Central / Global's Bob and Margaret series, which would debut the following year. Despite its time slot, Bob's Birthday was shown censored -- one scene, that featured Bob naked, had a maple leaf electronically superimposed over his genitalia.
